There’s a special place in hell for her

It’s one thing for humans to be cruel to each other. They’re built to do that. It’s endemic to the species. And the nonstop violence provides nonstop entertainment for the trillions of beings on other worlds who watch via video drones. It’s the best reality TV ever.

But it’s quite another thing for humans to be cruel to animals. As an apex predator species, humans have a responsibility to be kind to animals, to protect them, and to help them, especially when they are a species that has been bred to rely on humans, like dogs.

This woman drowned a two-week-old Doberman puppy in an airport toilet after the airline refused to let her take it on the plane. She had five dogs total; two were old enough to fly with her, her parents took two of them from her at the airport, and she tried to smuggle the fifth in her carryon luggage after being told it was too young to fly. When they stopped her from taking the puppy on the plane, she took it to the bathroom and drowned it in the toilet, then got on her plane.

I think there is a special place in hell for that person. But then, she’s obviously already in a hell of her own, with her criminal record. Perhaps she’s already being punished for her behavior, in advance. If that’s the case, I don’t think it’s enough.
